UPP Global
Football. Education. Impact.
Changing lives through opportunity — one player, one community at a time. At UPP Global, we empower youth and reduce inequality through football academies and community-driven giving.
UPPLIFT OTHERS, UPPLIFT YOURSELF.
Who We Are
UPP Global is a social enterprise on a mission to reduce inequality of opportunity.
Born from a grassroots football project in Vietnam, we’ve grown into a global movement that combines the power of sport, education, and community impact. Whether we’re training the next generation of athletes or supporting underserved communities, we believe that every young person deserves a level playing field.
UPP FC - Football Academy
Building confident players and stronger futures. Our Academy goes beyond football. We provide high-quality coaching, life skills training, mentorship, and a supportive environment where kids can grow, on and off the pitch.
UPP Global - Charity
As a registered social enterprise, we commit 100% of public donations to impact projects. That means everything we do helps fund opportunities for youth, from scholarships and equipment to education and housing support.
Transparent. Local. Purpose-driven.
and how you can be a part of it…

Testimonials
“I would recommend UPP to others because the organization really cares about children's needs and it would be a rich experience for anyone with a passion for social work to volunteer for this team. There were so many ideas, so much enthusiasm that I can see in UPP Global so I hope they keep it that way, and if there’s a chance I still want to work with them in the future.”

Project: Weekly English Classes
“The class was fun because I got to meet other people around the world. I also liked that Toro was teaching the other kids about kindness and responsibility.
What I enjoyed about this class is I got to show other people the things that I am into and I got to learn about what other kids are into as well. ”
